Ok this is just a mockup but I was just not entirely satisfied with the current home design (though I may still include it as an option). This is what I call the home shelf design. Inspired by macOS and Welo skin and others shelf ideas. The icons are all by me except the photos one (not sure if I will get permission to use it or if I'll decide on a different icon)

On the actual menu for movies, would it be possible to have a link to reccently added movies at all? I personally use this a lot and always hate having to go back twice on skins to get to recently added, usually it is a more important link rather than directors in my view.

looks really great. i'm in the process of upgrading my setup and will most likely end up using this as my new default skin. you've managed to make great use of the available space while not over crowding things which i really like. great work.
